Which consequence results when thermal gradients shift laser wavelength?

A)Reduced fringe visibility on target
B)Shorter coherence length of laser
C)Expanded area of focal spot
D)Increased power within diffraction rings

💡 Explanation

Laser wavelength shift introduces variable phase delays; therefore constructive and destructive interference diminishes fringe pattern contrast because the **superposition principle** weakens the maxima relative to the minima, rather than increased coherence.
